Quick question about the WoWhead Client

Post by gentledementia

I really appreciate this website, so I downloaded the client so I could contribute some data, I just wanted to know. Is all loot recorded? Even the stuff I don't pick up? I habitually pass on vendor trash and just generally uninteresting stuff, is that data still recorded even though I did not 'loot' it? I just don't want to be sending bad data after all.

I think it registers the loot window when it comes up, not what you actually take from it.

Alright, good to know. Thanks

I'm not sure if this is a proper place to post this but I assumed it would be better to keep it here instead of making yet another forum post since I ALSO have a quick question about the Wowhead Client:

I'm curious how the client knows which NPC each, specific, piece of loot came from? For example, say you pulled multiple, mixed ID NPCs and killed them all in one go. Now that WoW has the 'multi-loot from a single mob' feature, how does the client know which NPC the loot originated from? Does it simply group it under the loot-target NPC ID?

It makes me wonder if either a) this particular site achievement is bugged, or b) my data collecting and/or uploading process isn't 100% correct. Any insights on that?

Ohh, gotcha. I actually have been wondering that, myself. I figured I was doing something wrong as well. Hmm..

Good catch, when we refactored the Profiler back in June, we changed how the tool got data and this achievement doesn't make much sense. We've done a bunch of new things with the Profiler since then, so we'll come up with some more achievements.

i remember that way back, it was mentioned the achievement would be lowered in the amounts needed too earn it (especially the gold one). but afterwards nothing has changed so far.

i can understand that other things easily took priority over it, but it was mentioned at the time that it would be changed fairly soon.

OK, well that makes me feel better then. At least I'm not doing something wrong with my uploads and whatnot. Thank you for the information, Perculia!
